Want to support your local food bank? There are many ways to donate:

1 - Donate money and receive a tax-deductible receipt. With a monetary donation, the food bank can "buy more for less", buy what we need when we need it (often from local farmers), without the problems of expiry dates and storage. You can donate by mail, in person (during hours of operation) or over the internet by clicking on the Canadahelps.org link located on this page. Click on "Food bank" in the "Fund Designation" section.

3 - Donate your time by volunteering. Over 60 volunteers work with 3 staff members to successfully operate the food bank.

4 - Recycle your cell phones to the food bank's Electric Brick Cell Phone Recycling Program. By dropping off cell phones (at the food bank or at other drop off sites), you will help to save the environment while bringing income to our food bank.
